Movie Info

When Cecil Ffolly-Hardwicke, co-owner of an ex-naval ship, dies suddenly, a string of similar deaths follows. Luckily, amateur sleuth Miss Marple (Margaret Rutherford) is around to investigate, deducing that Cecil was poisoned. Marple's further digging finds that the battleship -- ostensibly being used to rehabilitate troubled boys -- actually serves as a criminal training outfit run by the corrupt Lt. Compton (Francis Matthews). But is Compton the murderer, or is there more to the mystery?

Pleasant enough but hardly captivating murder mystery tale.

...without a Christie novel for guidance, this third (Rutherford) entry is the weakest of the lot. By far.

Audience Reviews for Murder Ahoy!

May 12, 2012

This mystery wasn't nearly as compelling as some of the previous ones but Margaret Rutherford is still the most enjoyable Miss Marple.

By far my favourite of the four Rutherford Marple movies. Set on a ship, Marple investiages a series of mysterious murders on and off board the ship. The setting heightens the densitiy and sense of isolation for Miss Marple and make the movie the more enjoying. A very good supporting cast round up this cozy classic whodunnit. One of the best.
